Daniel Radcliffe: Robert Pattinson Is a Better Sex Symbol

"Rob Pattinson is a sex symbol. Rob Pattinson is a genuine sexy guy. He's got the height," Radcliffe, 19, told Usmagazine.com Thursday at the NYC premiere of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. "If girls like short and nerdy, then I'm a sex symbol!"

"I've said probably three words to him in the last three years and that was before Twilight all kicked off," Radcliffe told Us. "But I wish him well. Hopefully, I'll see him at some point. He's bound to turn up at one of these [premieres] at some point."

Though he is mum on his dating life -- "As a romantic leading man, I try to keep my personal life as far removed from the film as possible," he said -- he said he can still get gushy.
